Above all, excellence is based on the preeminence of the faculty. Our faculty define the frontier of understanding; reflecting who we are as humans, challenging assumptions, deepening knowledge, and interpreting ourselves and our world. We must continue to make strategic investments in recruiting, developing and retaining outstanding, diverse faculty.

- President Gregory L. Fenves during his Inaugural State of the University speech. September 17, 2015

Austin regularly ranks among the best cities in the country to live, work and raise a family. The city and surrounding area offer a very high quality of life, easy access to plenty of outdoor recreation, and countless music, art and film opportunities. More than anything else, it's the community-centric nature of the city that keeps Austin at the top of the best places to live.

We are dedicated to recruiting and retaining the best faculty in the country, and beyond.
